Weeping Willow
04:22
|
|

beneath yellow leaves / with rolled up sleeves / eyes lost in the branches / of your family tree / a weeping willow / she cries all night long / some sad, sad song / yet no one knows what’s wrong / maybe her branches just need to be trimmed / or that she feels naked in october’s wind / her trunk is crooked / the frost bites her toes / no one cares for her /as winter comes and goes

you are a wolf on my wall / watching me from a frame / loving me twelve years ago / i live in your name / but how you became what you became / and why you lost what you lost / is still a cruel mystery / that lives inside a wolf / who stares eternally still / into a black well / the remains of you are inside of me / and your complexion now isn’t what it used to be / you live as an idea more so than physically / you are a wolf on my wall / living in night and dreams / giving me your love still / even if indirectly

goodbye to this last spanish night / where the branches bow down / to that which reflects silhouettes / a river of bats flyin round // goodbye streets of stone / ill miss your walking paths / as light guides me home / mother moon sits and laughs // goodbye my friends for now / we will see one another day / and this song of farewell / will call us back your way // goodbye loving looks / of curious innocence / a novel, hidden smile / revealing true romance // goodbye my secret love / your name i’ll never tell / of dawn you remind me / of dusk you shall remain

Saudade

|
||
did you forget something / did you leave a part behind / do you miss someone so much that
you might lose your mind / did it make sense to leave someone in love / now that time has past
and she is who you’re thinking of / are you alone without a place stay / how did you leave so many beautiful days // separated by a sea / left solely with memory / of a love left in the past / and these words that speak of her

rain on the sun less day / floods come to clean up / humans from the world / once again / returns / it once again wants to once again / return to the place it was / before we came / and memory of humanity will wash away / into the sea

The Locket

you said you’d come home / again / i read your letters / hidden / in time / we will find / some secrets / of those whom we love / we won’t forget // will i find some sign of regret / or will i lose my mind in search of it // your soul exposed on the page / it makes your love feel like a cage // when i try to pry / to unlock it / the hold of the cold / wont submit // she held your face / in her pocket / it’s a blur in her oval locket // in her place of grace / she was replaced / and in your leave conceived / new life embraced

America
04:50

|

she called your name / but not in one word / she never could keep quiet / someone always heard / you thought you saw a light / you felt some hope return / but she still closed the door / and left your heart to burn / you got in the car to flee / from this place all was dead / you tried to get away from / all of those thoughts in your head / but when you reached the coast / you knew right then and there / that you would need to find a ship / to take you back over there / america / you’re full of promise / only when away / but upon return / to those states / i don’t wanna stay / so you casted off to sea / the horizon ahead / and while heading out you heard / that which you thought was dead / though by the time it came / rolled in a terrible storm / but not one of wind and rain / rather it was a brainstorm / thoughts whipped in new dimensions / you were sure to implode / and as the i of it rolled in / its true nature showed / it was her calling your name / that belle cracked a toll / you discovered there was no escape / on your heart she had a hold / america / you’re full of promise / only when away / but upon return / to those states / i don’t wanna stay

Perennial Love
04:40
|
|
||
seeded in may on the side of a road / the natal day i felt my heart bode / looming love needing sun and rain / it was birth of a floral love / the stem was cut before june / before the solstice came / three months without bloom / to return in autumn’s name / in winter’s grip a flower may die / november we must say goodbye / but with sun’s love annuals come anon / perennial love is never gone / and with each dawn’s rising sun / chloro-love-phylls me anon / cyclical birth blossoms / my pollen’s sewed and life goes on / each year another node / again the flower burgeons / growing to be old / in spring perennial love comes

it was the start of something beautiful / i heard her heart and tripped, well… i fell right down / she told me all about her family / i saw the years fall in flakes of snow upon her ears // we die in an instant / but ripples wander as we ponder the meaning // branches wove into a bed direct above my head / as i learned what the river meant to have said / she told me, dex don’t you dare to fear your fate / ‘cause fate’s a lie and you’re a guy with flocks full of doors // we die in an instant / but ripples wander as we ponder the meaning
